    Americans should give a try to shows form another country!

    Senna was and still is a hero for Brazil, actually for many people in the world in different countries. The best racer of all time and his story is beautiful, he was a wonderful and respectful man. I am Brazilian and I live in United States, I wish people here watch more productions from other countries...seriously you guys lose so many wonderful stories from Brazil, Norway, France..just because "oh I don't like voiceover...but I don't like read the captions either" this limited a lot. US productions are incredible too but sometimes it's like the same as always. You guys won't retreat to watch other cultures, visions, new worlds! Netflix have a lot of Brazilian productions, it's the 2nd biggest country on Netflix after US.

    Sennas Mother must have Directed this

    It is quite obvious that the Senna - Da Silva family had a hand in this, and a very strict one at that. Senna is described as a saint. He's always kind and nice and puts up with everything that's done to him. That's boring and superficial. There are no conflicts except with Prost and Balestre.

    The dialog is so incredibly flat, any daily soap is literature by comparison. I want to be first. He's the best. I'm the fastest. I want to win. But that's dangerous! But I want to win. But you've already won. But I want to win again.

    What about Senna's women's stories? That would have had potential. Didn't he have any vices? People like that don't exist. But when his mother is involved in writing the script ...

    His parents also come across as saints. Always understanding, always patient, kind, indulgent and noble. Yes, of course.

    The action pictures are top-notch, though. Not completely groundbreaking, but very impressive. Especially the sound design was awesome.

    A must watch for every F1 Fan

    Well at the moment it is the best Biopic Series on Streaming service Netflix with is Brazilian partner centers the bullseye!

    The acting is great the storie telling is so accurate that it's as you where there in this moment. I had so many back flashes seeing the iconic races and it brought me back in time. I was and still am a Senna Fan, and I cryed a lot when he died that for many ears I didn't watch any F1 race.

    To make a point it is a must watch for F1 fans and for the senna fans it is a come alive of those moments that made is fall in love not only with the driver he was but for the human. He is a Rolle Modell of an athlete and sportsman!

    Like he always said "it's pure racing!"

    Well made and impressively accurate.

    Firstly, while opinions on historical accuracy can vary, one cannot overlook the profound impact Ayrton Senna had on Brazil and its people. Beyond his undeniable talent and charisma on the racetrack, Senna was-and remains-a unifying symbol for a nation often divided by social, economic, and political differences. At a time when Brazil faced immense challenges, he brought hope, pride, and a rare sense of togetherness. Even today, in an era marked by political polarization, Senna's legacy continues to transcend these divisions, making him one of the few figures that all Brazilians can celebrate.

    As for the series itself, it is a masterpiece of storytelling and production. The cinematography, acting, and attention to detail set a new standard for Brazilian series, making it arguably the best ever produced in the country. It captures not just the man behind the wheel, but the cultural phenomenon that Senna became. While dramatization is inevitable in such works, it serves to highlight the emotional and historical resonance of Senna's journey, rather than detract from it.

    Ultimately, the series is not meant to be a documentary but a tribute to a man who inspired millions. It succeeds in evoking the passion, dedication, and human connection that defined Ayrton Senna-a man whose story deserves to be remembered and celebrated.

    The FW16 of biopics

    I call this show the FW16 of biopics because just like the car Senna was killed in, it was good but, umm...

    OK, positives first. By and large, they got Senna's uncompromising nature right, especially by way of illustrating his team principals' exasperation. Attention to detail was brilliant; seeing MP4/4s race sent chills up my spine, but that shot of Senna alone in the briefing room at the end of Suzuka perfectly recreates the ITV shot from 1989.

    I've seen another reviewer say that they story was one-sided. I agree, but then again, so what? The fans who followed the shenanigans in 1989 to 1993 would be familiar with the French Connection, if they didn't outright believe in its gospel truth. This is obviously a show for Senna fans, not Balestre apologists.

    That said, there were a few things that the scriptwriters could have paid attention to:

    1) Including Senna's personal relationships with people like Gerhard Berger and Josef Leberer would have gone a long way to humanising him;

    2) They could have placed much more emphasis on the work Senna put into developing the car - he had a reputation for providing his mechanics with feedback until they begged to go home; and

    3) Donnington 1993 - I can't believe they completely ignored the greatest single lap in all F1 history.
